The numbers against AI are wild, with 71% concerned about environmental impact—that's before you ask about power bills, social media, or any of the rest. Seems like opposing the AI arms race just might be a good political position to take. But what do I know 🤷‍♂️

So the US media has just decided not to cover the virulently racist Cuomo AI ad?

Wow.

Eric Adams, endorsing Cuomo: "New York can't be Europe, folks ... Those Islamic extremisms that are burning churches in Nigeria, that are destroying communities in Germany, that have taken over the logical thinkings. And that's what I'm fighting for."

There is nothing Platner brings to the table that somebody else can't bring. Good or bad. He is an unremarkable person who only has a platform and support because he is a rich white man who can afford to cosplay as a worker.

Wajahat Ali @wajali.bsky.social · 1d

Primaries are there for a reason. I'm not interested in "vote Blue no matter who" especially as its given us people like Fetterman. Push to make Democratic candidates better or replace them.

And with that, I think its time to drop Platner.

Racism is okay . That’s the message . They think racism is okay if everyone gets Medicare ( but by proving they think the right things)

And they want us to know that despite having a year to look for a different candidate or make a repair

In Germany, a standard 7kW rooftop solar system costs $10,000.

In Australia, it costs $4,000.

In the US, the same system costs about $28,000 — thanks partly to a mess of state, local, and HOA rules, per a new analysis shared with @alexckaufman.bsky.social:

Simpler Solar Regulations Would Save Americans $1.2 Trillion

Lecturing active soldiers about being too fat while dropping standards so low for the ICE deportation force that a third of their recruits can't handle the easiest PT test I've ever heard of www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes.
“It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.
